As a roof becomes older and get more porous, they are often invaded by moss and dirt. Maintaining a roof that is clean and free of moss and algae is often challenging for most owners and may become a constant source of issues.
Wouldn’t it be great to have your roof looking like brand new again?
Why have it cleaned?
A really serious accumulation of moss, dirt on your roof and other organic growth is likely to cause big issues with the roof and the life-span of the tiles will eventually be compromised too. If you neglect your roof, you’ll find these plants will rapidly grow uncontrollably with their roots creeping their way into vulnerable spots in the tiles of the roof, progressively widening them over time until cracks emerge. Like all living organisms they need water to live, and after it rains, they’ll work like a sponge retaining as much water as possible. As it finds its way in the cracks within your roof it may well cause serious and expensive deterioration to the rafters and joists. Lastly you could well find moss that has dislodged and fallen down the roof into your gutter which in time can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia’s. In truth, having the roof cleaned is a required service for many reasons.
For many though wanting a clean roof is solely an aesthetic choice and we don’t fault you for that! Roofs can become very unsightly due to organic growths like lichen and moss, and then a roof cleaning professional is necessary.

Of course, this bacteria growth is completely natural nonetheless it isn’t pleasant to see and it can over time damage your roof. Comparing a clean roof and one that needs cleaning can be night and day. After years of observing your roof get more and more dirty wouldn’t it be brilliant to see it looking almost as good as new once more?
